Installation

Important

Please make sure you meet all preconditions before you proceed.

Important

This app is utilising features that are only available in Alliance Auth >= 4.12.0. Please make sure to update your Alliance Auth instance before installing this app, otherwise, an update to Alliance Auth will be pulled in unsupervised.

• AA Sovereignty Timer is a plugin for Alliance Auth. If you don't have Alliance Auth running already, please install it first before proceeding. (see the official AA installation guide for details)

Bare Metal Installation

Step 1: Installing the App

Make sure you're in the virtual environment (venv) of your Alliance Auth installation. Then install the latest version:

pip install aa-sov-timer==4.0.1

Step 2: Update Your AA Settings

Configure your AA settings (local.py) as follows:

• Modify INSTALLED_APPS to include the following entries:

  INSTALLED_APPS += [
      # ...
      "eve_sde",  # Only if not already added for another app
      "sovtimer",
      # ...
  ]
  
  # This line right below the `INSTALLED_APPS` list, and only if not already added for another app
  INSTALLED_APPS = ["modeltranslation"] + INSTALLED_APPS

• Add the Scheduled Tasks

  if "sovtimer" in INSTALLED_APPS:
      # AA Sovereignty Timer - Run sovereignty related updates every 30 seconds
      CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE["sovtimer.tasks.run_sov_campaign_updates"] = {
          "task": "sovtimer.tasks.run_sov_campaign_updates",
          "schedule": 30,
      }
  
  if "eve_sde" in INSTALLED_APPS:
      # Run at 12:00 UTC each day
      CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE["EVE SDE :: Check for SDE Updates"] = {
          "task": "eve_sde.tasks.check_for_sde_updates",
          "schedule": crontab(minute="0", hour="12"),
      }

Step 3: Finalizing the Installation

Copy static files and run migrations

python manage.py collectstatic
python manage.py migrate

Step 4: Preload EVE SDE Data

AA Sovereignty Timer uses EVE SDE data to map IDs to names for solar systems, regions and constellations. So you need to preload some data from SDE once. If you already have run this command, you can skip this step.

python manage.py esde_load_sde
python manage.py sovtimer_load_initial_data

Both commands might take a moment or two, so be patient ...

Step 5: Restart Supervisor

Once you have completed all previous steps, restart your AA supervisor service to apply the changes.

Continue with the Common Steps / Configuration below to finish the installation.

Docker Installation

Step 1: Add the App

Add the app to your conf/requirements.txt:

aa-sov-timer==4.0.1

Step 2: Update Your AA Settings

Configure your AA settings (conf/local.py) as follows:

• Modify INSTALLED_APPS to include the following entries:

  INSTALLED_APPS = [
      # ...
      "eve_sde",  # Only if not already added for another app
      "sovtimer",
      # ...
  ]
  
  # This line right below the `INSTALLED_APPS` list, and only if not already added for another app
  INSTALLED_APPS = ["modeltranslation"] + INSTALLED_APPS

• Add the Scheduled Tasks

  if "sovtimer" in INSTALLED_APPS:
      # AA Sovereignty Timer - Run sovereignty related updates every 30 seconds
      CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE["sovtimer.tasks.run_sov_campaign_updates"] = {
          "task": "sovtimer.tasks.run_sov_campaign_updates",
          "schedule": 30,
      }
  
  if "eve_sde" in INSTALLED_APPS:
      # Run at 12:00 UTC each day
      CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE["EVE SDE :: Check for SDE Updates"] = {
          "task": "eve_sde.tasks.check_for_sde_updates",
          "schedule": crontab(minute="0", hour="12"),
      }

Step 3: Build Auth and Restart Your Containers

docker compose build --no-cache
docker compose --env-file=.env up -d

Step 4: Finalizing the Installation

Run migrations, copy static files and load EVE SDE data:

docker compose exec allianceauth_gunicorn bash

auth collectstatic
auth migrate

auth esde_load_sde
auth sovtimer_load_initial_data

Continue with the Common Steps / Configuration below to finish the installation.

Common Steps / Configuration

(Optional) Allow Public Views

This app supports AA's feature of public views.
To allow this feature, please add "sovtimer",, to the list of APPS_WITH_PUBLIC_VIEWS in your local.py or conf/local.py for Docker:

APPS_WITH_PUBLIC_VIEWS = [
    "sovtimer",
]

Note

If you don't have a list for APPS_WITH_PUBLIC_VIEWS yet, then add the whole block from here.

Restart your supervisor service or your Docker containers to apply the changes.

To update your existing installation of AA Sovereignty Timer, first enable your virtual environment.

Then run the following commands from your AA project directory (the one that contains manage.py).

Finally, restart your AA supervisor service.

Docker Installation
